Human Trafficking Conference 2013

Announcing the Third Annual Human Trafficking in America Task Force Conference to be held in Nashville, TN this year May 23rd – 25th 2013 at The Inn at Opryland (formerly the Radisson) Public Invited.

Nashville, Tennessee: Yvonne Williams, co-founder and President of Trafficking in America Task Force has a mission to help end human trafficking, which is modern slavery.

The Human Trafficking In America Conferences aren’t just an annual gathering of people that come and go. They are designed for the general public to become informed and educated by Experts and Authorities; to protect their at-risk youth, and to mobilize and engage people across America to help turn this horrendous crime of human trafficking around.

The human trafficking conference team gives great thought to topics that will help make an impact in the lives of those that attend. The 2013 Anti Human Trafficking Conference offers a slate of speakers this year that will address our attendees with the awareness and practical tools they need to make a difference and save lives.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, human trafficking has become the second fastest growing criminal industry — just behind drug trafficking — with children accounting for roughly half of all victims-USA Today-1/22/2012

After evaluating the progress of the previous two years, Mrs. Williams and her team will unveil the next phase of their organization’s mission: the creation of the Trafficking In America Task Force Alliance, a fusion to unite the NGO’s that are new to human trafficking in America, and offering oversight and management which will allow them greater opportunity for the success of their visions.

And, we will be able to create a stronger force in the country with us all speaking and moving with one voice rather than being scattered and unconnected. New NGO’s need direction and they need support and we believe this is another way that we can help stop human trafficking in America.

People’s hearts are being torn apart by this issue and they want to truly make a difference. With the implementation of this aspect of our mission, we can create and fill the gaps in each state. We are seeking National Program Managers at this point that can help with the formation of the umbrella.

What is Human Trafficking?

Article 3, paragraph (a) of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.
